[Bug 1313280] Re: Fullscreen window set to "Always on Top" will hide the lockscreen

 

I was able to reproduce that bug with Totem, VLC and Chrome. I didn't
test other programs.

The key to reproduce is the "Always on Top" setting. You have to right
click the window decoration and check that setting and then just go to
fullscreen and lock the screen. You will see the video or webpage and
other things in a bleed through mode and no elements of the lock screen.

Typing the password unlocks screen.

I don't confirm the problem occuring when the screen locks automatically
after timeout. I couldn't reproduce that part of Bug Description.

Title:
  Fullscreen window set to "Always on Top" will hide the lockscreen

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Im running on Ubuntu 14.04 and noticed this while watching a video
  last time.

  There is a really easy way to replicate this bug:
  * Open a video in Totem
  * Set Totem to "Always on Top"
  * Make Totem full screen
  * Manually Lock the screen using Super+L
  * Notice that the lockscreen is hidden by totem.

  If you don't lock it manually and just pause the video and let it lock
  automatically this will show the same behavior.

  The same behavior occurs with any application that can enter full
  screen mode.
